STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

"C5 Georgia taught me not to give up and to keep going no matter how hard it gets.  Along the C5 journey, I met many people who became a second family to me.  They helped me overcome challenges.  In the beginning, I was shy, but in the end, it turns out that I had so much in me.  I grew and it all came out with the help of C5 Georgia."

Osele, Victor

"C5 has been the driving force for all the leadership activities I am currently involved in. It energized and prepared me for leadership roles. I learned to think about other viewpoints and to be a connector. That means, not pushing your viewpoint onto others or getting them to do what you want, but getting people to work together and appreciate each others viewpoint to get a team moving in the same direction."

"C5 will forever have a place in my heart. I experienced so much at such a young age that most people wouldn’t fathom. It gave me confidence and many of my best friends and the greatest memories ever! It truly changed my life for the better."
